If the JPEG is on your deaktop do a right click & open with MS Picture manager, go to edit & resize
This will work if you have an older copy of MS office

I have not come across a single application that was designed to run on XP that has not run on Vista (atleast after some tweaking). At absolute worst case scenario it is possible to set the program to run in XP compatability mode.

If that doesn't work. My old man uses Picasa (from Google) and he loves it.
